Beschrijving van het huis dat wij aanbieden voor ruil
My property is a modern family home in the picturesque Yorkshire village of Holmfirth, setting of the TV series 'Last of the Summer Wine'. There are panoramic views over the Holme Valley.
The house has 1 double bedroom with en-suite shower room, 1 single bedroom, a 3rd bedroom with sofa bed, kitchen, dining room, lounge, downstairs wash room and family bathroom. The accommodation is set over 3 floors.
Holmfirth has excellent bars, cafes, restaurants and shops, with good links to the motorway systems. It is an ideal base for exploring Yorkshire, Derbyshire and the rest of the north of England. Manchester airport is approximately 45 minutes drive away and London about 3 1/2 hours. There are many good local walks from the house and there is easy access to the Pennine Way. Day visits include York, Chatsworth House and Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Beschrijving van onze buurt en omgeving
Holmfirth is vibrant small town nestling in the Pennine hills. It has several wonderful restaurants, bars, pubs and cafés. Live music is often staged at the 'Picturedrome' and other venues. It hosts a folk festival in May, an art festival in July and a food festival in October.
My house is set in a peaceful small courtyard of 7 houses overlooking the town. The neighbours are friendly but not intrusive. You can walk into Holmfirth in less than 10 minutes but it
takes longer to get back up the hill! Access footpaths and the countryside is virtually on the doorstep.

Onze tips voor leuke activiteiten en uitjes bij ons in de buurt
The northern part of Peak District is 5 miles away with wonderful walks. Marsden is 10 miles away with access to museums and industrial heritage, trips on the canal underneath the Pennines is a fantastic experience and can be accessed from here. Within an hour you can be in Manchester, Leeds or the historic town of York. Haworth, the home of the Bronte sisters and Chatsworth House are also within an hours drive.Holmfirth itself is where the long running TV series 'Last of the Summer Wine' was filmed and tours of the locations are easily available. The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is less than 30 minutes away which includes permanent art works by local artists Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore, as well as artists fro overseas such as Jaume Plensa.
